The AHC construction timeline
1973
A foundation is laid
The company is founded by Keith H. Libolt and Phillip Jannotti. The early focus is primarily on structural masonry, construction, and renovation work.
1978
From masonry to communities
In five short years, the business expands to home building, condominium projects, light commercial space, and light industrial flex and office space. Because of a commitment to quality and value, business booms.
1989
A deliberate turn
When the real estate recession hits, AHC re-evaluates its focus and begins working on smaller-sized urban affordable housing, building strong, lasting relationships with HUD, FHLB, NYS HCR, NYS HFA, OCCD, CDBG Funds, and RECAP.
2003
Green, before the era of Energy Star
The freestanding M&T Bank branch in Middletown shows that energy saving technology and aesthetically pleasing architecture can coexist.
2015
The Lace Mill
A boarded-up 1903 mill in Kingston becomes a center of cultural activity and housing for artists, and is named NYSAFAH Project of the Year.
2020
Energy Square
Affordable housing in Kingston that produces as much energy as it uses earns LEED Platinum certification.
2023
National recognition
Zero Place, a net-zero-energy building in New Paltz, wins two Grand Awards in the U.S. Department of Energy Housing Innovation Awards.
Today
